I am enjoying this little quilt adventure ....all the best.
Thanks! Maybe my friend will feel the same about that green plaid so I can leave it? I just think it looks so discordant with the other colors...but maybe it will grow on me! I'm still separating out the quilt top. That's what scares me, that if it takes so long just to rip those seams it will take so much longer to quilt it! I'm considering having my mom-in-law come and help me quilt sitting side by side on the couch
